A Gathering of Estimated Prophets

WARNING: This is a gathering of estimated prophets. You are about to read, hear and see things we think are cool. Your boredom is at risk.

about your Host, Lonesome Liz

Roots Country and Blues artist Lonesome Liz was dubbed 'The Female Robert Johnson' by 'Southern Fried Magazine'; honoring both her sultry contralto and the Hellhound on her trail. Her performances are heavy with Southern Gothic undertones. A natural storyteller, her words shift to expose the seamy underbelly of the South, which she translates through a mystic veil of mojo; often drawing on history along with Hoodoo and other Folk traditions.

Her performances have included Drive-by Truckers artist Wes Freed, art revolutionary Molly Crabapple, Jesco the Dancing Outlaw and she's shared a stage with Timbuk III's Pat MacDonald, The Goddamn Gallows and the .357 String Band.

Featured in the upcoming Hasil Adkins documentary, 'My Blue Star' by Ron Thomas Smith, she has she has also appeared in and directed dozens of plays as well as in an award-winning independent film, 'Leon's Aspirations'. Also a playwright, she has written and produced adaptations of both 'Faust' and Sartre's 'No Exit'.

A multi-disciplinary artist, she is also a music and fine art journalist, published primarily in 'Outlaw Magazine', 'Fine Art Magazine' and GratefulWeb.net. She was the last writer to interview Mike Seeger before his death and her Levon Helm retrospective received praise from Bob Dylan himself.

She has also been tarot, astrology and mythology editor for BellaOnline.com and Suite101.com. Her writing and photography are featured in the best-selling 'Everything Ghost Hunting Guide'. She began writing in Chicago, when Slam was first emerging and her poetry as well as her lyrics have received praise from Beat Poets Charles Plymell and Robert Brannan.

Her strong, sultry voice and powerful lyrics are captivating. Though unquestionably feminine and alluring, she describes hangings, hauntings, reckonings and shoot-outs in a way that makes you think she was not only there but participated. One of Country's true Outlaw Women, Liz blasted the boundaries of Alt Country. However it's delivered, her sultry Southern vision takes you far from the expected. It's hard to resist the spell Lonesome Liz casts when her mojo's rising...

Things I Love Thursday

Things that made me smile this week...

Fire trucks and tales of fires past and present...it's like Andy Griffeth meets Hill Street Blues meets WKRP in Cincinnati around here. Firefighters edition! * the billowing smoke of fall's last bbq's * telling fortunes with tea leaves and experiencing uncanny results, ('looks like a crescent...' 'I'm moving to Crescent Colorado!'... 'Looks like a man with a bad leg.' 'My father's having a knee replacement!' etc etc at an astonishing rate!) * Sepaking of tea, white peony tea with red velvet cake... YUM!!! * the restored antique cars at the railway musem. They are screaming to host a Murder on the Bowling Green Express or something fabulous like that * new cashmere * Kenneth Cole boots * plotting with the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future * garnets in silver * evil eye accessories following me! First a bracelet, (when LL says charm bracelet she means it!), next a keychain... * Spot Cash Store's open!!! Amazing vintage utopia! * getting back to writing about music ... this time local BG and Nashville for Examiner.com; around here, local's so good it's national! * reading Old West newspapers on-line and thinking up story ideas for True West magazine * plotting a guerilla ghost and tarot event for Halloween * getting the awesome news that Mike O'Neill will be in town for the AMA! * writing about the art of Eerie Von * catching up with Chris Calloway Hi-de-hi-de-hey! *
